Mitsubishi MC6015
MC6015 is a Mitsubishi carbide insert grade (CVD Al₂O₃), applied in the ISO P area. In this cross-reference it appears on 11 insert designations; the same insert geometry is also made by ISCAR, Kennametal, Sandvik, Seco, Tungaloy, Walter. 5 grades from other makers are confirmed at the same ISO position by two or more manufacturer charts. Same position is not the same performance: verify on a sample part before switching.

Mitsubishi lists Mitsubishi MC6115 against MC6015 in its own documents. That is a maker-stated successor, not a discontinuation notice: see the source and what to check before switching →

Mitsubishi MC6015 plus up to two grades you run next to it, worked through in one document: every cross-brand match with the number of manufacturer charts behind it, single-source candidates kept apart, where your grades overlap so the list can be shortened, and a validation plan. Emailed to you, usually within the hour. No account needed.
Same insert geometry, other brands
These makers produce the same insert designation in their own grade. Shared geometry is not a grade equivalence.

Frequently asked questions
What is Mitsubishi MC6015?
MC6015 is a Mitsubishi carbide insert grade (CVD Al₂O₃), applied in the ISO P area, used in 11 insert designations in this reference.
Which grades are comparable to MC6015?
Grades from other makers confirmed at the same ISO application position by two or more manufacturer charts include Kyocera PV710, Kennametal KC515M, Kennametal KC9110, Kennametal KCU10, Kyocera PR1225. Same position is not the same performance: treat them as starting points and verify on a sample part before switching.
Does this cross-reference favour specific brands?
No. Comparable grades appear here only because manufacturer-published comparison charts place them at the same ISO application position. No manufacturer pays for placement, nothing on this page is sponsored, and CuttingToolsAI sells no tools and earns no commission. Placements backed by a single chart are flagged as such, and every comparison ends the same way: verify on a sample part before switching.
